The Padres blew out the Giants to salvage a series split at Petco Park on Sunday,
If this is going to be the way the Padres finish off every series offensively in 2024 then Sundays are going to be VERY fun for San Diego baseball fans. They scored 15 runs in their final game in Korea against the Dodgers and darn near matched that on Sunday against the Giants.
San Diego jumped all over Giants starter Daulton Jeffries in the 1st inning with some help from San Francisco's offense. Xander Bogaerts reached on an error by shortstop Tyler FItzgerald, moved to 3rd base on a loud ground rule double by Fernando Tatis Jr., and scored on a passed ball that hit catcher Patrick Bailey right in the facemask. Then the Padres did some damage on their own.
In the 2nd inning Jake Cronenworth smoked a double to right field to bring home Jackson Merrill. Two batters later Kim unloaded on his first homer of the year, a 3-run blast to make it a 9-0 game, which you'd figure would be enough. But scoring runs is fun! Pedro Avila followed King and did exactly what the Padres needed him to do: just don't let the Giants have a pulse. Avila tossed 3.0 innings, allowing two runs with two strikeouts. Yuki Matsui handled a scoreless 8th and before Wandy Peralta came on to get the last three outs, Campusano finished his monster day at the plate.
